Spring has sprung at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum and events this year are more fun than ever!  Event dates are planned to include a “Barter Bash” for kids to trade toys, “Family Days” where you can participate in live demonstrations, “Shindig” with live music, and “Movie Night” in their newly renovated Will Rogers Theatre. There is more to do, see and participate in than ever before with more events on the horizon.

Will’s Barter Bash is being held on the museum lawn the second Saturday of each month April thru October, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Bring a blanket and set up beside the sunken gardens with plenty of space. Kids can trade toys, games and other fun items. There is no money, all bartering. You won’t want to miss the first one on April 10, 2021.

Next up are Family Days held on the third Saturday of the month, April thru October. Future “Family Days” will explore the Victorian Era of Will’s time with a High Wheel demonstration with Bob Allen from Bike About Bicycles, Lawn Games and Lemonade, the History of Snow Cones, Women’s Suffrage, Life in the early 1900s and enjoy family-friendly activities and demonstrations such as corn grinding, butter churning, 19th-century games, candle dipping, wool spinning and corn husk dolls. Last but not least, join Lea McCormick for traditional basket weaving.
